(a): If o-, m- and p-cresol concentrations cannot be differentiated, the total cresol (D026) concen-
tration is used. The regulatory level of total cresol is 200 mg/L.
(b): The quantification limit is greater than the calculated regulatory level. The quantification level
therefore becomes the regulatory level.
